Our Stakeholder Model
Our founder, Chuck Bundrant, believed that no single stakeholder group can be successful in the long run unless all are successful. This remains a belief that sits at the core of how we operate. Our stakeholder model ensures we acknowledge and address the needs of our stakeholders and provides valuable insights that influence our sustainability strategy and goals. We collaborate closely with fishermen, employees, communities, vendors, customers, scientists, fishery managers, public officials and many others who share our commitment to sustaining a healthy seafood sector.

We take our environmental stewardship role seriously. We choose to participate in responsibly managed fisheries, support science-based resource management, go above and beyond to minimize our impact on marine ecosystems, and use a best-in-class environmental management system (EMS) to manage progress to targets.
People & Communities
We have a responsibility to create a better world for our employees, fishermen, communities, customers and consumers. That starts by maintaining safe and healthy workspaces, supporting the mental and physical well-being of our employees and fishermen, supporting the long-term development of local communities, and delivering nutritious seafood products to our customers from fleet to fork.
Responsible Business
We ensure a sustainable company by leading strategically and holding ourselves accountable for conducting business in an ethical manner. We manage risk responsibly, treat our people and partners fairly, and focus on long-term profitability. This provides the opportunity to reinvest and create value for all stakeholders.
Our Approach to Sustainability
Guided by Our Vision, Mission and Values
It starts by doing the right thing.
From how we conduct business to the care with which we harvest the catch, our company's Vision, Mission and Values act as our North Star, guiding everything we do. How we approach sustainability is no different.
Environment
On land and at sea, we're taking steps to reduce the impact of our operations and manage resources responsibly.
As the ocean is at the heart of what we do, we have long been dedicated to conserving the ocean resources that sustain our business, customers, and communities. We collaborate with our partners and stakeholders who are involved in implementing federal and state fisheries management laws to ensure the best available science is being used to manage the marine ecosystems of the North Pacific and Pacific.
We go above and beyond the letter of the law to care for, conserve, and manage these resources in a way that ensures abundance — not just for this season and the next but for future generations. Our guiding principles for managing environmental resources and impacts include the following:
Supporting science-based resource management
Developing operational excellence
Optimizing our supply chain
Collaborating on innovation policy
People & Communities
We are a people business, through and through.
At Trident, we acknowledge our success is tied to the success of our employees, the independent fishermen, and the scientists and fisheries managers we work with, as well as the communities where we fish and work. Our goal is to make people’s lives better, including those who purchase and consume our products. Our guiding principles on social issues include the following:
Supporting communities
Engaging customers and consumers
Supporting independent fishermen
Cherishing our employees
Responsible Business
We do the right thing and live by Trident's core values each and every day. Our promise to operate a responsible business rests with every employee.
At Trident, responsible governance and strong economic performance are fundamental to the sustainability of our business. We believe that a sustainable and successful business starts with ethical behavior. Our founder instilled a sense of honor and integrity in our culture. We remain committed to doing business the right way, competing fairly and honestly, and following the law everywhere. Our guiding principles on governance issues include the following:
Leading strategically
Upholding ethical standards and complying with the law
Providing safe, high-quality food
Managing risk responsibly
Sustainability Progress Reporting
In 2025, Trident launched its second sustainability report. Building upon the company's inaugural report, which was published in 2023, the 2025 report commnunicates the company's sustainability strategy and performance on issues where our business is uniquely positioned to influence impacts on people, the environment, and the economy.
“Our company is focused on continually improving our operations - making everything we do as efficient as possible, reducing our impact on land and at sea, and creating a rewarding workplace where our people can grow and innovate.”
